Documented cases of PWS go back to the 17th Century
In 1956, PWS was identified as a constellation of symptoms by Swiss physicians A. Prader, H. Willi and A. Labhart
PWS is a lifelong, life-threatening, non-inherited genetic disorder that results from a defect on Chromosome 15
PWS occurs in 1 in 12,000-15,000 births, or approximately 25,000 people in U.S. Of these, 75-80% are either undiagnosed or unknown to PWSA(USA).
In NV, there are only 39 known cases of PWS; 13 of which are in the greater Las Vegas area. There are an additional 70-75% either undiagnosed or unknown to PWSA(USA).
PWS equally affects all races and both sexes.
Two major types of PWS – Deletion (70%); Uniparental Disomy (UPD) (25%); Other (5%)
PWS is now easily diagnosed with a blood test
PWS is one of the 10 most common conditions seen in genetics clinics, and is the most common genetic cause of obesity
Without intervention, PWS leads to obesity-related medical problems and eventual premature death
